email accounts

Thu Jan 28, 2010 11:30 am

I have established and email acct with GMail but can't find a way to link it to MWP. When I click on Mail Program only Windows Live Mail comes up with an account in Hotmail. If I try to set up an account with GMail, when I get to the last page that says finish, nothing happens when I click finish. How can I get my GMail linked to MWP?

Followed your example but when I click on Mail Program what comes up is a list of programs on my C: drive. same thing when I do a test launch. What might I be doing wrong?

You seem to be confused. Are you trying to set up a mail program or trying to set your Gmail id into Mailwasher? These are 2 separate steps. Post back and let us know what you are trying to do.

Here's what I was trying to do. I have a local isp through which I received my mail via Outlook Express. I was using MWP to scan, then send to OE. That was with my old computer which went south. I got a new computer and was trying to set-up with either MS Live Mail or Hotmail. Couldn't do it with either one so I went to Google and set up an acct with Gmai. I was trying to get MWP to fwd my email to Gmail once I checked it. I still haven't found a way to get that done. But I'm not overly concerned with that now because I have GMail set-up to automatically xfr all my e-mail from MWP to my inbox at Gmail. I have tried all the suggestions submitted and used instructions provided by GMail but I still get a window with all info from my computer (i.e., top bar has program files(x86) Firetrst and Mailwasher Pro) and a listing various folders icons, file extensions, etc. on the right window and the left window shows Favorites, Library, and Computer with various sub-files below each one when I click on Mail Program. At this point I'm not sure MWP is compatible with anything but OE. To everyone that replied, thank you for your assistance. Once I get everyone advised of my new email address I will be uninstalling MWP as I won't be needing it because GMail has a spam/phishing/virus checker included. I'd much rather havekeep XP and OE but have to get on with progress. Again, thanks. By the way. To see what I get when I click on Mail Program, on the top bar, click on File and Launch email application. That's what appears. No idea what I've been doing wrong but just gonna let it lay for now.
